Resident Frequencies: Tuning into the Future of Endodontic MRI – Ep. 75
In this trailblazing episode of Endo Voices, host Dr. Marcus Johnson explores the cutting edge of endodontics with a distinguished panel from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Joining the conversation is Dr. Craig Noblett, Director of the Advanced Endodontics Program and President-Elect of the AAE, along with two exceptional voices from the next generation—Dr. Alex Dahlkemper and Dr. Luc de la Villefromoy, both current endodontic residents and the first residents ever featured on Endo Voices. Together, they dive into the transformative potential of Endodontic MRI, examining how this technology could surpass the limitations of X-rays and CBCT by delivering unparalleled soft tissue visualization—without radiation. From diagnosing complex periapical pathosis to reimagining treatment planning and follow-up care, MRI promises to redefine precision in the specialty. The panel addresses challenges like cost, accessibility, and training while sharing forward-thinking solutions for clinical integration and education.
